Scarabus 10 Y.O.

Scarabus 10 years: a smooth, smoky aromatic profile

Bottled without cold filtration and natural colour, this release is made unique by its elegant balance of smokiness, character and smoothness. It is presented in elegant packaging that pays homage to John Francis Campbell, a 19th century scholar of Celtic traditions. His nickname, Young John of Islay, underlined his close relationship with the island and, by extension, its most iconic products.

Tasting notes and trivia on Single Malt Whisky Scarabus 10 YO

The word Scarabus in the ancient Norse language means 'rocky place', and refers to a mystical area on Islay, where the precious liquid is distilled. The exact origin of this whisky remains a mystery: a secret carefully guarded by generations of passionate producers.

The ideal glass for tasting Scarabus Single Malt Whisky is the Glencairn. This is a variant of the classic tulip glass, with a small, heavy base and no stem. Alternatively, a tulip glass can worthily replace the Glencairn: it will always be preferable to the tumbler.
